Rodman Special Education Cohort Scholars

What is the Rodman Special Education Program?

The Rodman Special Education Cohort Program is an intensive 1-year program in which undergraduate special education majors can complete their Bachelor of Science degree and be licensed as a generalist special educator.

In the fall semester of the program, the participants take a course in a 1-week time period for 13 weeks (Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM). In the spring semester of the program, five courses are taken (on Monday and Tuesday evenings) and the participants pre-student teach (all day). In the summer of the program, the participants complete their student teaching and graduate.
